Associate Professor Nancy Rottle joined the Landscape Architecture
faculty after over a decade of professional practice in the Pacific Northwest
and a former career as an educator. Her interests center around the use
of design as a means to create places that are culturally meaningful,
ecologically healthy, and experientially resonant. She is concerned with
making the connections between ideas, design, and the successful realization
of vital, livable and regenerative places. She is particularly interested
in the design of environments for ecological and cultural literacy, ecological
treatment of water in design, and in issues and methodologies for preserving
valued agricultural, historic, and middle landscapes.
Nancy’s interests are fueled by her experience working as a landscape architect and planner on projects ranging from large-scale preservation planning, such as the Mountains to Sound Greenway and Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve, to detailed design and construction, including the Cedar River Watershed Education Center and Rattlesnake Lake Park. Eleven of her fourteen years of professional practice were with the Seattle architecture and landscape architecture firm of Jones & Jones, where she worked on education centers, interpretive planning and design, national and local parks, historic preservation, and landscape restoration projects. Her experiences living and traveling in Britain and Europe continue to inspire and inform her design sensibility.
Nancy completed BLA and MLA degrees at the University of Oregon, after studying educational psychology at Fairhaven College and teaching for nine years. Prior to teaching at the UW, she co-taught professional development courses on Sustainable Design at Harvard, and Design Studios and Plant Materials at the University of Oregon. At the UW, she now teaches Design Studios, Graphic Communication, Sustainable Construction, and a Cultural Landscape and Interpretation Seminar, teaching in both the BLA and MLA programs. Nancy is a registered Landscape Architect in the State of Washington and holds state teaching certification.
